governor romney's plan is to let wall street run wild again, but he's going to bring the hammer down on "sesame street." >> o.j. simpson and "sesame street" in the same new line there, anne. certainly, this is the kind of thing people are talking about. it's going to run all over cable today, but will it make a difference? >> yeah, you know, it's good pictures, it made for a nice cameo on "saturday night live," big bird showing up there. and look, there aren't many one-named celebrities in this country that people know, but i think elmo and oscar qualify. and look, it's an easy target. and you know, i think republicans would say that mitt romney was simply being honest in bringing it up, and in fact, perhaps being brave in bringing up the financing of public broadcasting, but this is a perennial. we see this debate every time the financing for public broadcasting comes up. i guess i'm a little surprised it would show up this late in a presidential campaign, but not at all to see democrats, who have traditionally been on the side of more financing, embracing it. >> and here's what joh

and the unemployment rate as you know this year has come down very slowly, but it's come down nonetheless. the reason it's come down this year is prime rarely due to the fact that more and more people have just stopped looking for work. >> what mitt romney is getting at there, when you look at a report like this where the unemployment rate is dropping but there aren't that many new jobs, you worry immediately that you're seeing a kind of trick. in particular, you worry that the unemployment rate dropped because discouraged workers gave up and they stopped looking. that did not happen this month. the number of people participating in the labor force went up, which means the rate didn't drop because there are fewer people looking for work. average hourly earnings also increased and here's the bad news, though, about the jobs report. we're at this point in the campaign, 32 days out from the election, where people begin to go a little crazy. all they can think about is politics. to them, everything looks political. a new conspiracy theory was born at 8:35 a.m. today with this tweet from forme

i think romney really doesn't like to ever seem to be backing down. he wrote a book called "no apologies" so he doesn't want to be seem to be apologizing. it would have been so easy right from the beginning to sort of say oops that came out wrong. i think that's much more palatable than what he had been saying before which think is what he believes but also trying to make people think that's not what he believes. so yeah, he clearly must have been prepared for that to come up in the debate. and as he said in that interview was prepared to just completely finally repudiate that statement. >> sue an, what's your reaction to that theory? >> i think molly's right. it's something he had to get out there. it took two or three interviews to get to this final point. perhaps he was waiting for it at the debate. but this was a much better format for him to address. >> he didn't get to 67 million people with it. >> no, he didn't. but the fact is it didn't come up. so 67 million people didn't have to hear that being said. so that was to his best. >> do you think
